Real Democracy

A Star Online article that I have missed but buddy andrewk managed to share had a really big, BIG headline that read "Penang to create opposition leader position". The state's Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said that the move was long overdue - in fact, 50 years overdue. The existence of this position will give the opposition (now Barisan Nasional) a place to voice their own views and most importantly, keep the current state government sharp. Totally acceptable. ;)
